I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.
People and Posters
This is an area where I can be a bit more creative. Although I have been out with the camera in London and other cities in the past, trying to find those iconic areas of graffiti, coloured shop fronts and unusual posters. I must also find then the right people to walk by at that precise moment, which is not always possible; so I take the venues and the people separately and then match them together in my own time. But I think they are like Marmite. But in this instance I hope you do like.
As always, keep safe and best wishes. Patrick
Ps It comes about because I do not have the patience to wait around but I admire those people who do.
I cannot remember if he squashed it or just kicked it.
Thamesmead, location for the 1971 Stanley Kubrick film, based on the 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange.
An experiment in concrete, steel and brick.

Probe 16, 1969
This car exhibited at the Kubrick Film exhibition at the Design Museum London. It appeared in Kubrick's film of A Clockwork Orange (originally in silver), where it was called a Durango 95.
Only three were made, designed by brothers Dennis and Peter Adams. AB1 is now a wreck. AB2 was owned by rock star Jack Bruce and was exhibited at the 1969 London Motor Show at Earl's Court. AB3 is this one, now fully restored. Not concepts or props - these three cars were road-legal.
In 1969, it cost £3,650 - more than a Ferrari. The fibreglass and plywood monocoque sits just 34 inches high, with the entry for two via the electric roof in the top. Front wheels are 10 inches, rears 13 inches.
You might expect exotic parts underneath. In fact, power was from an Austin 1800 B series inline 4 cylinder engine bored out to 1900cc. Running gear was from British Leyland! It's said that none of the mechanical parts used was new. The Probe company went bust in 1971.
“It’s funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.”
— "Alex DeLarge" in the novel, A Clockwork Orange (1962).
I took this close-up shot of Rachel while the optometrist, my sister, used this machine to check the pressure of Rachel's eyes during her eye examination. The shot immediately reminded me of Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" and I decided to complete the tribute by applying this texture (courtesy of ghostbones) to dirty up the shot.
By the way, that blue glowing tip is, in fact, touching her eye.

Today's Orphan
As one leaves me
The other breathes me in
The earth swallows as the sea seeps into
Suede shoes soaked in murky memories
Depressing energy relieves tired limbs
Everything is a version of itself
Twisting, turning and morphing
Churning out, tomorrow
Today’s orphan
I've been avoiding these films for years. Now I'm writing an essay on the way we as a society view violence in cinema, so I couldn't really avoid them anymore...

“If he can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is a clockwork orange, meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil.”
Props from the Korova Milkbar in the Kubrick film of A Clockwork Orange, 1971. From the book by Anthony Burgess. At the Kubrick Exhibition at the Design Museum in London. Figure created by Liz Moore and the set design by John Barry. This is where Alex and his droogs drank milk laced with drugs in preparation for Ultraviolence. In Nadsat, "a real horrorshow".

"Why am I smilin' and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you"...

I met David Prowse in San Francisco in 2008. Nice man. I wish I remembered he was in A Clockwork Orange because I would have liked to have asked him about Stanley Kubrick.
A bit of trivia I think is interesting is James Earl Jones was in Dr. Strangelove, so Kubrick got to work with both Darth Vader actors.
